littlezar Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 No decorating til after Thanksgiving ~ DH gets back early next week, we go "home" for Thanksgiving and once we get back, everything comes out! We're in a new house this year so we have to decide what's going where.
zim05 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Since I live with my sister at her house, this weekend our younger brother is coming over and helping us put up lights, he gets to climb on the roof! Next weekend, Thanksgiving weekend, I'll probably do our parents' house.
jakesmommy403 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 *Oh don't know if you saw, WTAE mentioned Gottadeal on noon news, saying they are a good site to check out BF ads, before BF--yeah NO KIDDING LOLNo I missed that! I usually watch WPXI. The local news has had an awful lot of stories on this year about Black Friday, hasn't it? I don't remember them covering it like this last year! More snow coming tomorrow for us!!!
areno79 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 DH wanted to put up the Christmas decorations when we took the Halloween decorations down...on November 1st The plan at this point is for the guys and my SIL to put up the decorations while I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I already have a written map of the yard detailing what goes where But I'm psyched to see how it all turns out since this is our first year in our new house. Then Black Friday night after DH gets home from work (and I'm gotten some much needed rest) we'll put up the Christmas tree and inside decorations.
allshoppedout Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 I liked your idea areno79, especially the detailed map My sis is making T-giving dinner and I sure wish I could convince her to let us do her decorations outside while she is finalizing everything.She never wants help preparing, or setting up, or even doing the dishes after. She never wants me to bring anything. I'd feel good doing something --and my kids would too (we'd just need to bring extra clothes to wear outside) However I know she'd never let us, she wouldn't want her guests to "work". If the situation were reversed I'd love someone to do it and help me out! By the way I am not sure when anyone else near to me is going to be brave enough to put stuff out--maybe BF if they aren't shopping. It is freezing here, teens and 20's, it may reach 35 on BF..... I am the only one decorated on my street.
